What did you cook or eat today (September 2025)?

For my lunch today I have random bits I had in the fridge at work!

McD’s and I are having a little separation at the moment. I’m angry they’ve changed their daily deals in their app.

Used to be, I could get free fries with any purchase of $2 or more - a regular cheeseburger is $2.19 where I live, I always bring my own water, so I could have lunch for a sweet $3, with some of that rounded up and donated to the Ronald McDonald House.

They’ve ended that and replaced it with free fries for…wait for it…$15 or more - I’m never going to spend $15 at McD’s - and all the other daily deals are crap. Best I can do is half-off a McChicken, which with fries brings my total to $4.¢¢, rounded up to $5, and I’m not doing that.

It’s the principle of the thing!

Until they see reason and return my usual daily deal, we’re on the outs.

Do they have a rewards program on their app like BK does? We don't do McDonald's, other than for breakfast very rarely, but do get lunch from BK once in a whole and 99% of time get at least fries free.

Yes, they do. You earn points for every purchase and those points add up to free food.
 
Went to the butchers and got some garlic and herb marinated lamb steaks for lunch, no pic but a lovely fast lunch.
Have a joint of beef slow cooking on high for a Max’s sandwich shop recipe of Bánh Mí baguettes later on.

Took a step forward towards the instruction to “burn the veg, I mean really burn the veg” but I’m sure I’m still way off what he means. It’s gonna be baby steps on that one for me because I just can’t imagine burnt garlic having anything to offer other than nasty acridness.

Hopefully the actual sandwich will get me closer to trusting it’s the right thing to do!
 
Have a leg of lamb (well two actually cos the butcher offered a deal on two) that I’ll slow cook overnight, just the marinade to make up.
Finished the Ensaladilla de Marisco
It’s a mayo strongly flavoured with Thai fish sauce, lemon and a smidge of sugar that binds together diced sea bass, king prawns and shredded seafood sticks.

The seafood sticks break up easily with a hand mixer and surprisingly it’s their texture shredded that carries it all off.
I added the sea bass in after mixing in the mayo because it breaks easily and I didn’t want to lose the texture.

Bit of grated cured salted duck yolks to finish. Not great pics but had a lot on so it was a rush, still at least that won’t effect the flavour tomoz 😊
